Romance of the rails

Thinking of a romantic Valentine’s Day in Montreal? Normally, we’d recommend taking the train.

The route is reputed to be one of the most scenic in the United States.But be forewarned. Track work on the two days before Valentine’s Day will prevent the Adirondack, as the passenger train is known, from operating north of Albany.

Instead, Amtrak is substituting a bus.

The train returns on Saturday, Valentine’s Day, although you’ll have to settle for a late dinner. It doesn’t arrive until 7:10 p.m.
